Voltekka.2375 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I just wanted to ask WHY such an item has stopped dropping. Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasimir.6239 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 What do you mean "has stopped dropping"? I haven't ever had any of those drop until last weekend, when I actually got my first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lare.5129 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I was sold 1 for ~1300g. Skin is not collectable - so it is no point for me. If you need is asap - welcome on tp. If you don't want spend gold - relax and play. In feature this box can be added wvw/pvp track or have other sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lare.5129 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 only 5 ppl ready spend for that 1500, and 6th have 420 gold for that .. after that price drop down as stars :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be asking instead why this icon of a garb is an RNG drop to begin with.. At least they seemed to have learned their lesson with the Runic Armor, but that's of no consolation to those players who have wanted Raven's Armor since forever.

DanAlcedo.3281 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Arenanet can change the droprates of items anytime they want without a patch. We were told this by a dev some time ago. They use it for example to reduce the money afk player/bots are making. When they move to a different location, Anet just reduces the drops at the new location. What i think happend here was that some groups farmed Whisper HARD and made ALOT of money that way. Anet stealth nerfed it to not be farmable anymore. Because it (apparently) got to exploit levels of money making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raknar.4735 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Pretty sure it still drops. Like @"DanAlcedo.3281" mentioned, it got farmed hard by some people when they noticed it wasn‘t part of the daily chest. Seems like Anet decided it is a prestige drop, just like the Khan Ur helmet and various infusions. My guess: they moved it to the daily reward, or dropped the rate because it was farmed. You‘ll just have to endure farming it if you don‘t want to pay the tp price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khisanth.2948 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Judging from the supplies it seems 0 have dropped since the EotN update. Does anyone else remember how long the drop for https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Final_Rest was broken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 It was quite a while; not until after they fixed the bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pifil.5193 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 This and the Visage of the Khan-ur are particularly annoying for me. This is probably worse as you have a set of armor where the chest piece is so much rarer than the rest that it may as well not be a set. The fact that the Whisper of Jormag is so much more difficult than the other strikes doesn't help, if it is bugged it's hard to tell, very few groups seem to want to do WoJ anymore.

Perihen the Thawk.9527 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I just wish they would guarantee the drop after a particular number of events in order to cut off the long tail of the distribution for people who get really unlucky. Like if it was RNG but it was guaranteed to drop on the 100th (or whatever) successful Whispers run if it hadn't dropped by then. That way I could at least feel like I'm working toward it in the very long term, and I might get pleasantly surprised if it drops earlier, but I don't have to worry about being unlucky and just *never* getting it. The idea that it just might not ever drop is really demoralizing and makes me not really want to try. (Same goes for the Gaze of the Khan-Ur. I would do SO MANY metas if I just knew for sure that it wouldn't be in vain.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whisper is the hardest and longest strike in the game and its full of bugs like, you can get stuck in the mirror room or the boss will be invisible when you come out most ppl already dont want to do it and now you cant get the nice item it had? then no one will want to do it at all they should have left it alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the Boss bugs, they lost like what 2-3min? > Yea, but for the average player those bugs make the instance painful if not impossible. we lost four players when the boss bugged out(3 of which where DPS and the fourth was a healer) and didnt have the DPS to finish it as it killed off another two people before it stopped attacking. I do agree they shouldnt have moved the reward if they did, but the instance is a pain to do, and making it so that the one item it drops for a set of armor that cant be finished without it? I unno, i dont think i agree with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the Boss bugs, they lost like what 2-3min? > Bugs should never be tolerated, especially at a boss of raid difficulty. Not everyone is a 45b(azillion) dps raider, and it does suck if you get to the endphase of a boss, only to restart for the 3rd time. If we add less rewards, its like shooting yourself in the foot if youre Anet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dahkeus.8243 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 It's a nice looking skin, but a damn shame that it's so rare. It doesn't really have a particularly high-roller look to it. Personally, I'd love to have it for my character, but until the price drops, there's just no way I'll ever have that skin unlocked. Even if I did get lucky enough to have it drop from a strike mission, using it to unlock the skin would basically be an opportunity cost of thousands of gold. If I was willing to pass up earning 1500+ gold to unlock the skin, I would just buy it from the trading post. Because of this, having it as such a rare drop only really benefits people who are looking to earn gold. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khisanth.2948 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Oh ... on the subject of buggy drops from strikes the runic armor tokens from fraenir and voice/claw seems to be swapped. :/ Either that or they have the wrong description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elric.4713 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Right now there's only one on the TP and it costs 5000 gold. Please give us optional way to get this like you did with Runic armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
